Pocket Bike Track

This is an idea for an entrepreneur who wants to build a successful and fun business.

You can find a go-cart track anywhere, but pocket bike tracks are especially rare. If you were to set up a pocket bike track in a great location such as a mall parking lot or other shopping center, you could make amazing profits, and have a lot of fun.

What You Need

• 4-8   R32 Interceptor 110cc bikes (as low as $549 each at USA pocket bikes). Some other great models are the X-18, the X-19, and the X-22. Pocket bikes sit between 2.5ft - 3 ft tall, so they're not uncomfortable to ride but are actually quite fun.  
• Chain-link fence panels and possibly hay bales to make the pocket bike track. If your riders wreck, they'll slide into the hay.
• Pads, helmets, and other gear for protection.
• Liability waiver form.
• Checker Flags
• Posters and Decorations
• Business Supplies and filing cabinets for insurance waivers.
• Renting Space
• You might want to check into buying insurance for your pocket bike track.
• $10 per race per person, winner moves to the next race. That's a $70 profit per race.

If you were to set up your pocket bike track from Friday-Saturday, you would be bringing in $7000 a weekend or $28,000 a month for your pocket bike track

Repairing Bikes

This is an idea for a kid who know or wants to know about repairing bikes. Be sure to ask for your parents permission before using this idea.

People use their bikes a lot, so when they break it can really mess their day up. Some people even rely on their bicycles on transportation, so it's a real pain in the butt when they go out. Repairing bikes can be big business if you know how to do it right.

If repairing bikes is a subject that you don't know much about, look online and read up on it. You'd be amazed about how much information you can get on fixing and repairing bikes. You'll want to go to a search engine such as google and type in something along the lines of "repairing bikes how to".

Once you feel you know enough about repairing bikes, then go to the store and buy some supplies. Some great supplies to buy would be Fix a Flat, flat tire kits, WD-40, tire linings, tire tubes, nuts, bolts, and a few wrenches if your dad or mom doesn't have any.

To start your business repairing bikes, you would first tell your friends. Tell them that you know about repairing bikes, and can do it for a fee. Tell them to tell their friends, and let the information spread by word. You can also tell your neighbors the same thing, and ask them to spread the word too! Making flyers would work well too, but only if they look well done. Ask your mom or dad to help you make them on the computer, and post it at local supermarkets and on poles. It's good to mention that the cost of repairing bikes depends on what's wrong with the bike. The amount of time that you advertise will directly affect how many customers you get.

Once people begin to call, set up a time for them to drop of their bike and begin working on it. The amount you charge on bike repairing depends on how long the bike repair will take, and how much money you have to spend on supplies. It's good to have quite a few flat tire kits, because a lot of the bikes that come in will be simply because of flat tires. If you try hard enough, you can really make bank with this business.
